How to beat Udyr

Common role: Jungle / Top

A stance-shifting bruiser with strong sustain and a point-click stun.

What makes Udyr dangerous

Udyr cycles four stances — a damage-over-time claw (Q), a defensive shield (W), a bear stance that grants move speed and a point-blank stun (E), and a phoenix AoE burst (R). Awakening a stance twice empowers it. He sticks to a target, stuns them and grinds them down with sustain.

How to play against Udyr

• 1Kite his bear stance — he needs to reach you to stun, so use range and slows.
• 2Bring Grievous Wounds; his turtle stance sustains him through trades.
• 3He has no ranged threat — poke him down before he closes the gap.
• 4Save your dash/Flash for his stun; once E is used you have a window.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Limited gap-close outside of bear move speed — kite him.
• ✓Grievous Wounds cripples his turtle sustain.
• ✓No ranged poke; he must commit to reach you.
• ✓Predictable stun timing you can juke.
